Posted in The Dolphins will have a decision to make about linebacker Channing Crowder this offseason, and a recent tidbit in Pro Football Talk.com says that the team may not be able to bring him back in 2009:
The Miami Dolphins are facing the potential loss of one of their up-and-coming defensive players. Middle linebacker Channing Crowder has completed his rookie contract, and he’s eligible to hit the market. Absent a contract extension or the application of the franchise tag, he will. A league source says that the Fins aren’t expected to apply the franchise tender to Crowder. What’s unclear at this point is whether the two sides will be able to work out a deal.
